Does Andy Serkis Really Have A Role In Marvel's AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON?

The wording of the interview in which Andy Serkis "revealed" he had an Avengers: Age of Ultron role made it seem he was only a consultant on Mark Ruffalo's Hulk, but sources now confirm...

Back in April, we spotted a Twitter response from Mark Ruffalo that revealed he was working with motion-capture performance master Andy Serkis to "perfect" the Incredible Hulk in his next outing, Avengers: Age of Ultron. Last week, we finally heard from the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes actor about his involvement, and during that interview, Serkis said that his London-based digital studio, The Imaginarium, is serving as the performance capture consultant on the 2015 Marvel sequel.

"And I'm playing a role... I've been working closely with Mark Ruffalo," he added, insinuating that his role was just consultanting the Hulk actor. However, given the complicated wording of the interview, HitFix's Drew McWeeny has reached to his sources for confirmation: "...They clarified that he is only playing one character in the film, and that the nature of that role is still meant to be a secret." McWeeny's sources also confirmed that Andy Serkis' role is not one that has already been announced, adding "James Spader handled his own performance capture duties as Ultron." So, what character do you think would require Gollum of Lord of the Rings to work closely with Mark Ruffalo in Avengers: Age of Ultron? Perhaps, he'll appear as himself. What do you think?




Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron stars Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Cobie Smulders Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Elizabeth Olsen, with Paul Bettany, Samuel L. Jackson, and James Spader. The film is set for release on May 1, 2015.

Andy Serkis is a terrific actor. I don't need to know what role it is. Excellent addition.

who could he be playing? all the characters we know are in the film he could be playing have already been cast (vision,ultron). maybe he could be someone to appear in the after credit's scene? what if he was one of the black order bowing before thanos now that would be cool.

What if he is replacing the actor that played The Other? Or maybe he is some other kind of alien associated with Thanos.

Awesome news if true. Would love to see some Serkis in AoU. Likely be something in the mid-credits scene, as a set up for Ant-Man or Avengers 3.

I saw this on yahoo like 4 days ago. They pretty much confirmed that he had a role, just unsure who he's playing.

this doesn't necessarily mean he'll play a role involving more mo-cap.

He was Kong in Peter Jackson's 2005 movie but he was also the character Lumpy...yeah...the chef...so it may be more mundane than people are hoping for. He could just be cast as "security guard 2" for all we know.

Not trying to piss in anyone's punch bowl, just sayin.
